Old Party Line telephone insulators, painted
Spooning Beneath the moon; plastic ball, and ladles
New England Chipback terriers; deep fry containers with metal ‘legs’ welded on, wood chips

A Heron
Flies low over my house
Limbs tucked under
Wings beating ever so slowly and rhythmically
Neck outstretched
Focused on my dam
As if tired and relieved
On the last leg of a long journey
It spreads its wings wide
Glides gently in a smooth arc
Ripples onto the dam’s glasslike surface
Settles
And rests

A musician friend gave me half an old piano. He made an interesting table out of the other half.
I made these collages using stripped down elements from the hammer mechanism of the piano
Wooden shapes were originally covered with felt and the leather below
90mm x 205mm
Strips of suede leather suggest a landscape
160mm x 210mm
Wooden elements covered with glue, heated with heat gun, also suggests an abstract landscape or detail from a landscape
73mm x 160mm
